A busy day in London

There is a real buzz about London these days which makes it hard to reconcile talk of tough economic times. Yesterday proved a bit of a whirlwind .

After a busy morning in the Optician office working on the new website and Optrafair I headed off to London. First stop was Specsavers' Spring Summer showcase.

It's interesting that from a company which, to date, has had a reputation for own branding it has acquired a stable of strong licensed brands.

In the room were Red or Dead, Quiksilver, Roxy and some new brands such as  Cheap Monday and Firetrap. They had brand ambassador Gok Wan showing of his new range and other style gurus.
